I enjoyed this movie, and of course couldn't help but HOPE that life after death is even remotely like this...
I've heard I will be possessed by demons if I watch this movie. I've also heard that monkeys pick premium teas, which qualifies as 'hearing it all', so I say bring it on.
High marks for the beautiful special fx and entertaining storytelling. Unfortunately, the ending left me a little cold, and I felt that the film was a bit too depressing at times.
I never thought there would be a movie that would make me cry from start to finish....but this one did. I will never ever be able to watch it again.
a truly beautiful film. the acting is flawless, and the story is completely absorbing... you really will laugh and cry, and its so well directed, i cant say anything bad about this film. Its a piece of Artwork (In some scenes, literally).
Very artistic and visually stunning. The story isn't fantastic, but it's not really the point. Good to watch for the cinematography and artistic value.
Awesome! Hard to explain how this movie made me feel. It was a very spiritual movie for me. Robin Williams has outdown hisself once again!
Haunting and very depressing. It also shows some of the disgusting beliefs people have about how and why we 'go to hell.' So a woman goes to hell because she ends her life after her children and husband were killed, presumably by the same forces that send her to hell, as some would say. It was still a pretty good drama.
Since we don't know what life after death may be, it is interesting to watch one person's ideas unfold in this remarkable movie. I just watched it again and liked it even more than when I first saw it in the theater. The color and music and images and bits of insite and impressive acting make this a buffet for the eyes and ears and mind. I'm glad I just had the chance to go down the table another time.
Omg! This movie actually makes me believe in soul mates. It's the most romantic movie I've ever seen.
I wonder if heavan really is like that. I wouldn't know. I'm an atheist. This movie is definitely very interesting and worth watching.
incredibly powerul, outstanding acting by robin williams who never disappoints me with his versatility and skill. visual elements are amazing, surrealistic yet tangible. cuba gooding is also a strong presence but what amazes me most is how intensely williams' character reaches out to his wife (sciorra). max von sydow is very strong in his presence and adds even more acting class to this already well selected cast, bravo. i'd watch this again anytime.
Lush and lovely. A 100% tear-jerker for anyone that's seriously thought of the afterlife. Based on a book of compiled stories of the afterlife.
easy to dismiss parts of this, and celebrate it only for the living-in-a-painting brilliance, but ultimately ultimately powerful. [spoiler alert:] [really - don't read the following unless you've seen it.] [[i'd rather be in hell with you than in heaven without you.]] well, maybe not "ultimately powerful" but it felt that way at its climax.
I'm no theologian, but I find the concept of this film extremely offensive, mainly the part about it starring Robin Williams.
You'll either love or hate this movie, it's been referred to as "too arty" etc, beautiful visual with a poignant story, and fantastic performance from Williams (chris), but more so from Sciorra (annie).
how real is life? what about death? these would make it one of the best films of the last 15 years, if there hadn't been "chick flick" things interspersed throughout it.
Just an overall beautiful film about a man who dies and goes to heaven and his wife who kills herself and goes to hell and the sacrifices they make to be together. A major tearjerker.
depression sets in during this movie. gorgeous effects though. really stellar effects...especially for its time
I've seen this a lot of times. I actually searched for the DVD but it's always out of stock. Good thing that my friend James Claypool was able to find one and gave it to me as a gift since he knows how much i love this film. I love him for that. It's a film about unconditional love and art. The effects are artistically made. Every second of the film is worth watching for. One of the best made movies of all times.
I remember watching this ages ago, it's quite sweet.
It confused me when I was younger, but I love it now.
Brilliant use of color. Naturally, if you've seen the scene where everything has a wet paint texture to it, but even without that the scenery is a complete fairy land of different places. The story is interesting and good too, if you don't focus on everybody dieing.
this is one of my favorite movies. It moves well, has a good plot, and a nice twist.. just a very well done movie. And its always good to see Robin out of his normal.

this is the only movie that made me cry right from the start till the end........
Excellent movie, want to watch it again and recommend to my friends. the story tells about the love of the family, the everlasting love of the couple that even in hell and in heaven they never separated.
The damn-movie was way too sweet. The book was a little more vivid like they always are, but you can really get good fear from hell if read the book. Also, their is a different variation with how and who the people are affecting the main dude's life, like if they were the kidz or vice-versa. Thus, it was a fr33king sweet-ass movie....
What a great movie! The book was just as good, if not better than the movie. This movie helped me through the loss of someone very dear to me, so it will hold a special place in my heart. This movie is full of love, hope, and desire and I recommend it to everyone.
Me encanto!! Que buena forma de ver la vida despues la muerte ojala que sea asi cuando nos vallamos de aqui......
i would suggest the idea of God is Not what is important here. what is important is the way in which we ourselves percieve life. that a sense of wonderment is what truely humbles us into being "good" people. that Death may not be a comfortable escape, but as is life a challenging journey frought with hardship and rewards. we cannot expect "heaven", we must create it
I agree...it has a wonderful view of what could potentially be heaven...of course its gonna be better than that! :P but it gives you a great visual...And the love story is just wonderful. It's kind of like what Christ did for us...only he didn't go to hell..he came here on earth..and suffered a great deal just to bring us back home with Him! :D
Godbless!!
